Need To Properly Regulate Alcohol

Now that the government has issued notice to regulate the consumption of alcoholic liquor, it seems that the people who have been suffering from the misuse of such drinks will heave a sigh of relief. However, the concerned authority should implement the laws very strictly. The regulation that prohibited the use of alcoholic drinks in government-organised meetings has not been followed properly. If the government wants the commoners to follow its rules, it should first compel its employees to be honest. The task of regulating the beverages should not be given to the political activists because it may bring about further chaos. It should instead be carried out by the government itself.

Besides, the government should also think of the alternative ways to provide jobs to those people who would be displaced after the regulation comes into effect.
